Kogda b on znal
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda b on znal, chto plamennoj dushoju S jego dushoj slivajus' tajno ja, Kogda b on znal, chto gor'koju toskoju Otravlena mladaja zhizn' moja! Kogda b on znal, kak strastno i kak nezhno On, moj kumir, raboj svojej ljubim… Kogda b on znal, chto v grusti beznadezhnoj Uvjanu ja, ne ponjataja im!.. Kogda b on znal, kogda b on znal! Kogda b on znal, kak dorogo mne stoit, Kak tjazhelo mne s nim pritvornoj byt'! Kogda b on znal, kak tomno serdce nojet, Kogda velit mne gordost' strast' tait'!.. Kogda b on znal, kakoje ispytan'e Spokojnyj vzor jego prinosit mne, Kogda vzamen nemogo obozhan'ja Obidnyj khlad ja zrju v jego dushe! Kogda b on znal, kogda b on znal!
